[PyQt] PyQt5 application could not find QtWebEngineProcess.exe

I'm trying to run an application against PyQt 5.6 (from
the PyQt5_gpl-5.6.zip). This application was converted from Qt/PyQt 4.11.
The webkit QWebView usage has been replaced by QWebEngineView. When running
the application an error occurs:
"Could not find QtWebEngineProcess.exe"

I've found this issue on the mailinglist (
https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/pipermail/pyqt/2016-April/037276.html)
with a reported fix and the following indicated fix:

changeset:   a4d8055d6b1a
date:        Thu Apr 14 15:38:51 2016 +0100
Adjusted qt.conf on Windows so that QtWebEngineProcess can be found.

in the change log of the 5.6 release (
https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/static/Downloads/PyQt5/ChangeLog). It
however still seems like an issue here. The QtWebEngineProcess.exe can be
found in C:\Qt\Qt5.6.0\5.6\msvc2013_64\bin, but adding this to the path,
application - or python directories didn't change anything. Can you help me
out here?

As background information, the way I've created my PyQt5 installation:

   - Qt 5.6 (qt-opensource-windows-x86-msvc2013_64-5.6.0.exe)
   - Visual Studio 2013 (vs2013.5_ce_enu.iso)
   - Python 2.7 (pywin32-217.win-amd64-py2.7.exe)
   - sip 4.18 (sip-4.18.zip, compiled against VS2013)

amd64 VS2013 CMD prompt with:
PATH="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
12.0\VC\lib\amd64";C:\Qt\Qt5.6.0\5.6\msvc2013_64\bin;"C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\Common\Microsoft\Visual
C++ for Python\9.0\WinSDK\Bin"
QT_PLUGIN_PATH="C:\Qt\Qt5.6.0\5.6\msvc2013_64\plugins";C:\Python27;C:\Python27\bin;C:\Python27\Scripts;C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages
INCLUDE="C:\Qt\Qt5.6.0\5.6\msvc2013_64\lib";"C:\Program Files

C++ for Python\9.0\WinSDK\Include"
LIB="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
12.0\VC\lib\amd64";"C:\Users\dveltman\AppData\Local\Programs\Common\Microsoft\Visual
C++ for Python\9.0\WinSDK\Lib\x64"

ran:
python configure.py
nmake
nmake install
